Nissan Patrol 2006: Rear vision mirror is disorienting

I HAVE just bought a new Nissan Patrol and find the rear-vision mirrors to be dangerous. When I check the mirror to move into the passing lane, the vehicle behind appears to be 200m away when in actual fact it is almost right beside me. My Nissan dealership tells me it can't supply a better mirror. Have you any ideas on this?

MOST modern cars have similar mirrors and carry a warning advising that cars will appear further away than they really are. They are meant to give a comprehensive view of what's happening behind you but you have to adjust them. Until you make that adjustment you need to be very careful and look around as well as using the mirrors.
